pkfops Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Has anybody failed the NVC security check? If so, are you notified? Or just left hanging? Does the security check include CFL postings? Link to comment

cosmiclobster Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Dont know of anyone failing - I think you would have to be a felon or on some government agency's wanted list to fail -A few people have fallen into a black hole/time warp of many months for having a common name - Hmmm maybe i'll give my child cosmiclobster as a middle name! Don't have to worry about too many of them out there! Link to comment

pkfops Posted December 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 My fiancee said her Mandarin spelling of her name isvery common for both female and male. Her Cantonese name is very feminine though. Maybe we should educate the security folks. Also I have 6 years as an Army grunt so my name shouldcome up. Either way, we are just simple people and don't need tobe fucked with. Link to comment

tywy_99 Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 It is due to the commonality of names among Chinese citizens that slows the process up for some. The Patriot Act of 2001 requires all IV issuing posts to perform a security check on all applicants. If there is a "hit" on a name, it must be cleared up before processing can continue, thus the reason for slow times. Link to comment
